Process

From land to impact

Watch how conservation becomes measurable climate action through verification and retirement

Journey

From conservation to climate credit

Every project follows a structured path. Land-based conservation becomes verified climate action through rigorous monitoring and transparent retirement.

One

Project design

Communities define conservation goals and establish baselines. Project design documents outline methodology, stakeholder roles and expected climate outcomes.

Two

Implementation phase

On-ground conservation work begins. Continuous monitoring tracks progress against baselines while communities manage land and ecosystems.

Three

Verification process

Independent verifiers assess monitoring data and confirm climate impact. Results are validated against Plan Vivo standards and international methodologies.

Four

Credit issuance

Verified credits enter the registry and become available for purchase. Each credit represents one tonne of CO2 equivalent permanently removed or avoided.

Foundation

Communities shape the conservation vision

Project design begins with local knowledge. Communities define conservation goals, establish baselines and outline the methodology that will guide years of work ahead.

Local knowledge

Communities and stakeholders establish conservation objectives and baseline conditions.

Scientific rigor

Project design documents detail methodology, roles and expected climate outcomes.

Validation

Credits enter the registry

Verification confirms real impact. Independent assessors validate monitoring data against Plan Vivo standards and international methodologies before credits are issued.

Rigorous

Independent verifiers assess monitoring data

Third-party verification ensures credibility. Verifiers review all monitoring records and confirm climate impact against established baselines and international standards.

Transparent

Credits are registered and made available

Each credit represents one tonne of CO2 equivalent. Once issued, credits enter the registry where they can be purchased and retired against climate commitments.

Aligned

mama nature 2.0 meets global standards

Our credits comply with VCMI and ICVCM frameworks. Every credit is built on Plan Vivo methodology and verified by independent third parties for maximum credibility.

Permanence

Retirement creates lasting impact

Retirement is final and auditable. Once a credit is retired, it creates a permanent record that cannot be reused, ensuring real climate action.

Definitive

Buyers retire credits against commitments

Organisations use retired credits to demonstrate climate action. Each retirement is recorded in our registry with full transparency and traceability for accountability.

Auditable

Every transaction is recorded transparently

Our registry tracks all credit movements from issuance through retirement. This creates an unbroken chain of custody that verifies genuine climate impact.

Verified

Impact reporting demonstrates real outcomes

Retired credits generate impact reports showing environmental and social benefits. Communities receive revenue and recognition for conservation work that matters.

Questions

Find answers about how projects move through verification, issuance, and retirement.

How long does verification take?

Verification timelines depend on project scope and complexity. Most projects complete the process within six to twelve months. Our team works closely with independent verifiers to ensure rigorous standards are met.

What happens after credit issuance?

Once credits are issued, they enter the registry where buyers can retire them against their climate commitments. Retirement is permanent and creates an auditable record of climate action taken.

Who receives revenue from credit sales?

Revenue flows directly to project communities and implementing partners according to agreements established during project design. This ensures local stakeholders benefit from conservation efforts.

Can credits be traded after issuance?

Yes, credits can be bought and sold on secondary markets until retirement. Each transaction is recorded transparently in our registry to maintain full traceability.

What makes mama nature 2.0 credits credible?

Our credits are built on Plan Vivo methodology, verified by independent third parties, and aligned with VCMI and ICVCM standards. Every credit represents real, measurable climate impact.
